    What I recommend others do is based on their requirements/budget/taste.

    How much is 3rd party fire and theft insurance though? Better check this with Direct Line before buying....

    P.S. “Depending on the size and weight of the item we can dispatch goods by Royal Mail, courier or by pallet.”
    I've got a feeling you won't have to pay road tax, and parking the thing shouldn't be a problem...

    I checked, and ammunition isn't included, but with your contacts, that shouldn't be a problem either...

    Yeah but then you'd have three horrible cars instead of one.
